WOW buddy!! I know the feeling that you had. It is amazing when you finally connect. Well done. That will keep you going for a while and hopefully you whack a few more. I noticed you pinched some toes on 2 of them. Makes me think I want to buy a big beefy trap with good spread like those. I was thinking of buying some 750's if I decide to do the leghold thing but I may change my mind

Wow, what a super day. After reading some of your previous posts it's great to see you finally connect. Hopefully it will only be the first of more. What a way to start the new year off.
You sure have a lot of snow where you are trapping.

Congrats on the wolves. Love the black one. Some taxidermists seem to pay top dollar for black wolves. Something to consider.
Just wanted to mention that if you are catching toes... the pans on your traps might need adjustments. You would have to experiment but it might make better foot holds instead of toe holds.

Thanks a lot guys. I still can't believe how it all worked out. My little guy was definitely my good luck charm, too bad he can't quite handle the -30 days yet.
As for these wolves future I was offered some decent cash today for both the Alpha and the black female but their futures are at home with me. I contacted Curtis at Silver Willow Taxidermy and he'll be doing a 3 wolf life sized scene on a pedestal base for my trophy room. These guys are just too beautiful to part with.
I guess this years Trapline profits just took a little hit lol
